Storing The Battery; Fuses - Toro 04383 Operator's Manual

WARNING
Battery terminals or metal tools could short against
metal tractor components causing sparks. Sparks
can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting
in personal injury.
• When removing or installing the battery, do not
allow the battery terminals to touch any metal
parts of the tractor.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between the
battery terminals and metal parts of the tractor.
WARNING
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the
tractor and cables causing sparks. Sparks can cause
the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal
injury.
If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect
the cables, negative (-) cable first, and scrape
the clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect
the cables, positive (+) cable first, and coat the
terminals with petroleum jelly.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) battery
cable before disconnecting the positive (red)
cable.
• Always connect the positive (red) battery cable
before connecting the negative (black) cable.

Storing the Battery

If the machine will be stored more than 30 days, remove the
battery and charge it fully. Either store it on the shelf on the
machine. Leave the cables disconnected if it is stored on the
machine. Store the battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid
quick deterioration of the charge in the battery. To prevent
the battery from freezing, make sure it is fully charged. The
specific gravity of a fully charged battery is 1.265–1.299.

Fuses

The fuses in the machine's electrical system are located under
the seat (Figure 48).
